April 2023 Lack of Park Availability

[ashaway12]

Good morning, I (luckily) already have my park reservations set for our April 2023 vacation but I wanted to make a tweak and flip park days for MK and Epcot. I logged into my account to do this and 4/17 is showing limited availability, 4/18, 4/20, and 4/21 is showing no availability. But, when I log out and go to the “buy theme park tickets” section separate from my account I went in and looked at the calendar and it is showing that all of those days are open for all parks. Has anyone else run into this?

try again. if you already have a reservation for a specific day, when you look at the calendar , that specific day will show "no spots" because you already picked one park. Just select the day you want to change, and the options will pop up. It happened to me as well when I was switching the reservations for Feb 2023

Actual availability doesn't always match the calendar. I've seen it say no availability but then it allowed me to book that park when I actually went in to make reservations.

Everything past December is wide open. It’s what @DaviVascaino said.

I suspect demand is decreasing. Not only is every 2023 park day wide-open, but there are also hotel discounts for Disney+ subscribers, Disney Visa holders, AP-holders & FL residents. I hope Disney has to keep discounting to fill the parks. No one should have to pay the current pricing.

Have been trying to plan 2 days at Disney following a 7-day balcony cruise next spring… but the 2 days w/on-site hotel (no meals) exceeds the price we paid for 7-day food-inclusive cruise on a newer ship. Bad.

I have this same thing. I have a park pass for MK (UK Tix. Hilton Signa - so 'selected hotels) and i want to change it to Hollywood studios in the morning - no availability. But the calendar is completely green.

If there is actually no availability left on those dates then that is incredibly cheeky as a lot of people use the calendars to see availability to book their trips. I hope it is just a glitch - but there is partial availability the day before and full availability the day after... so i am guessing not?

Did you actually go into reservation to change it? It will always show no parks available for days you already have reserved. When you click manage reservation, then change reservation, the calendar will show no available for your other dates. It should show "some parks available" for the date you clicked to change. Click that date on the calendar and it will show you all the other parks available.

I have 9 days in April and all the days have all parks available to me.

Just checking in case you didn't do this - you have to from this screen actually click the date on the calendar you want to change, only then will it show you what's truly available. Mine looks like this until I click the date I want to change.

 

[jf256]

Yeah it wont actually let me click on it. Literally blocked off.

Funnily enough i was able to change one date and now it is not showing availability on that date either. So it is only showing availability on the dates we dont have reservations for ... except for the 13th of March.
It must be a glitch because there is no way there is availability on Saturday and Sunday and then none on the weekdays for any park! I just don't believe that...

I think i know what is causing it..

We have the UK 14 day over 18 day tickets.... which means we have 18 days to use 14 park reservations. I have just ended up on a screen that says..
Park Reservation Limit has been reached' We are unable to accept modifications or changes to your tickets or passes please cancel your theme park plans and add again.
I am going to cancel the last day of our passes - and see what happens. It is very annoying that you can't make modifications without cancelling. If that is even the case.

Hopefully it will not lose that date - but if we do we will just hang out at the hotel and maybe disney springs. It wont be the end of the world.

Update:
After cancelling one of the days clicking on the date and following the process followed by maggie the cat it allowed me to change it.

So to conclude:
There seems to be a glitch in the system that will not allow you to make changes to park passes with UK tickets where you have the full 14 days reserved. You have to have reservation one in the bank to be able to do a modification. I understand not being able to reserve a day extra when you have no parks.. but modifying it should be fine.

I am not sure if this is just an issue with my system i will try on my partners account later when he gets back from work.

Looks like i'm going to have to call disney because as it gets closer i'm not going to want to cancel days unless i know for sure they have availability in the park i want.
